Barking Dog Collar: Stop Dog Barking the Safe and Humane Way

Probably the easiest and fastest way to train your dog not to bark is with a barking dog collar. The idea behind these collars is simple. When your dog barks, give him something unpleasant. He’ll start to associate the barking with the unpleasant thing and he’ll quit barking. Generally, these collars work within the first couple barks. It doesn’t take your dog long to figure out that if she just stops barking the irritation goes away. There are a variety of collars on the market. All are great products. You just need to choose which one is right for you and your dog. Here’s a list of the most effective types on the market.Spray CollarsDog’s don’t like the smell of citronella. So, with this type of collar you fill the collar with a mixture of citronella and water and put it on your dog. When she barks, the collar sends a fine mist of citronella directly in front of her nose. It can be rather comical watching your dog shaking her head and trying to get rid of that awful smell. Of course, the comedy routine lasts only a few moments as she figures out that it’s her bark that’s causing the horrible smell and just stops barking. Ultra Sonic CollarsThis type of barking dog collar saves you the hassle of filling the water and citronella vial of the spray collar. It does basically the same thing as the spray collar, only instead of affecting the sense of smell it causes a high pitched sound that dogs can hear but don’t like.The reaction most dogs have to the ultra sonic collar is one or two barks, followed by a muffled whimper, and then silence as they figure out their bark is causing the evil noise.The sound doesn’t hurt your dog’s hearing in the least. It has the effect that fingernails on a chalkboard has with humans. The sound doesn’t hurt their ears, but it cuts right to their core and sends shivers down their spine.Bark Control CollarsThis is the last type of dog barking collars. As with the other collars bark control collars cause irritation every time your dog barks. The vibrations in her throat set the collar to work and it send out a mild current that surprises her.After a couple of these surprises, she doesn’t want to bark anymore. Most bark control collars have settings on them, so make sure you start at a low setting and only go as high as you need to go, to change her barking habit.Once the barking behavior has changed you’ll be able to replace the bark control collar with your dog’s normal collar. Once the habit of not barking has been established she’ll probably be fine.If she does relapse, you may need to do another training session with her to remind her of the unacceptable barking behavior. To do that just replace her bark control collar for a bit and she’ll stop barking again.All of the above bark control collars are ideal if you’re very busy and don’t have the time to teach your dog not to bark. Not only are these collars safe and humane, they will work for you whether you’re at home or not.

Aggressive Dog Behavior: You Better Take Action if You Rather Be Safe Than Sorry

Aggressive dog behavior can be very dangerous. It should never be taken lightly. An aggressive dog is a dog that has become dominant and will continue to act out until he is properly trained to change his behavior.
Dog aggression does not happen overnight. Usually aggressive dogs become more aggressive with time. Aggressive dogs do not necessarily bite or growl, but they may exhibit other signs that demonstrate that the dog has become a dominant, alpha dog.
What are some common signs of aggressive dog behavior to watch out for?
So how do you go about stopping aggressive dog behavior?
Besides being expensive, a dog trainer would train the dog, but would not help you to make the changes you need to make. In all the above situations, you can see that the dog has taken on the role of the leader, and you have become the submissive one. These role have to be reversed. The fact is that you need as much training as the dog. You will have to learn how to assume the role as his leader, and teach him that you are in charge.
Take action to correct aggressive dog behavior. Don’t wait until it is too late. Not only will your dog become more aggressive with time, but you can prevent a bad accident from happening. Don’t run the risk of having an aggressive dog injure you or someone else.
